How Health Care Reform Affects Seniors

Overview

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law on March 23, 2010, directly affects the benefits for Medicare recipients. Substantial modifications related to Medicare benefits address expanded preventive care coverage, including proven preventive health screenings for many major conditions, such as diabetes and cervical cancer. Other expanded provisions include annual wellness visits to the doctor as well as the elimination of copayments and deductibles for those services.

The topics covered within include:
  • How will my Medicare benefits change?
  • What happens to my Medicare Part D coverage?
  • How are my income taxes affected?
  • What new assistance is available for long-term care?
  • How are seniors protected against abuse under health care reform?
  • Is there a timeline for when all of these take effect?
  • Where can I go for more information?
